Sil-PadsSil-Pads were developed to eliminate
the need for thermal grease. They con-sist on an elastomeric binder com-
pounded with a thermally conductivefiller coated on a carrier.
A typical filler material used isalumina.
On application, the Sil-Pads aremeant to flow under pressure.

Procedure to change Plate Scales for NSFCAM:Notes: a) When using NSFCAM, the quick release ball lock pin should always be in place! b) The Apd Rack Mount will NOT move with the WFS box when changing plate scales, except possibly be moved out on the drawer slides for access. 1) Telescope is at Zenith2) Loosen 8 Captive Screws (1/4-20) (sliding the Apd Rack mount out will make it easier to get at the bolts and pivot brackets)3) Move the WFS box AWAY from the VJ of NSFCAM.4) Rotate the pivot brackets in or out depending on Plate scale to use5) Make sure the field adjusted spacers are in place6) Bring WFS box in slowly, the tapered pins will help to guide it into proper position.7) Tighten 8 Captive Screws (1/4-20)

1. Software Plan A
Zyoptics will give us a copy of their AO software.. Compile & Run!
• Received a port of Hokupa’a from VXWorks/RTLinux (40 % completed).
• Just enough to sample sensor data & check timing. (Does not output to D.Mirror).
• All of the higher level function also commented out.
• Major issues not addressed:– LP_SHMEM – pointers problem.
– Semaphore – resource locking/protections.
• Zyoptics software was configured to their hardware setup – slightly difference from IRTF hardware.

2. Plan B – “Oh no….. what’s plan B?”
Zyoptics software can be used as raw material for IRTF system.
Implement similar structure in RTLinux.
Reverse engineer & import code from zyoptics system to IRTF system.
Implement additional IRTF requirements.
